It's kinda like what Bing used to be; you got cash back if you shop thru their site. With e_bates, there's a minimum rebate amount you need to have to get a check and it takes about 90 days. I've never used the fatwall-et before so I don't know if they send you a check or deposit into you acct.
I ordered online yesterday but I also bought in store today. I mentioned F/F to the manager and she asked me if I got the email. I just said ya, but didn't print it. She went to the back to get the card for them to scan in. They were definitely secretive about it. They whispered so the other customers behind me and already at the counter didn't find out.
anyone who has recieved their package, did you need to sign for ups? i forgot i wont be home in the afternoon to sign! i hope they just leave it.
it may have been getting out of hand in stores last year, too crowded so maybe they are trying to keep the calm this year? its probably more cost effective as well. it would cost more to staff the stores and to restock the stores where as what we order online comes straight from the warehouse.
I guess I can understand why it might be online only. If one person uses the FF discount in the store without having a card, everyone should get it since it's not fair to the other people in the store that may not know. I just think it's sort of stupid but I guess I can see why they do it that way. Whoever is lucky enough to know about it can order from home without every single person in the stores hearing about it. I can imaging the problems they would have if someone without a card was allowed to get 20% off at the register and the person next to them or behind them heard. EVERYONE down the line would be demanding a discount too.

Just thought I'd share my haul as well as the 500 point perk in case anyone is wondering what it looks like:

I have never signed for my sephora packages.
I stopped by the store today and was told that unless you have a card from an employee, the sale is online only. Luckily, the SA gave me one of hers so I could get the new coach fragrance.
I wonder why online it'sonly this time.
Well, I went in to the store and I was able to get the F/F just fine. I also stopped by another store on Thursday to ask when it was going to start in stores and they said Friday, so it's definitely not online only.
I have to leave this thread I have the urge to buy more and I just downloaded the Sephora app the other day too - I must stop I am running out of room to store my make-up ! 
used the f&f discount in store at the sephora in union square (nyc). didn't need to show the coupon, just needed to mention it--but they were being semi-secretive about it.
picked up...
perfekt skin perfection gel in radiance
nars the multiple in south beach
sephora collection perfect ten brush set (the one for the breast cancer research foundation)
& i got a clinique sample pack of cleansers (liquid facial soap mild, clarifying lotion, dramatically different moisturizing lotion) and with my rewards i got boscia green tea blotting linens

I downloaded the app. too, hopefully it won't put me in any troubleI have to leave this thread I have the urge to buy more and I just downloaded the Sephora app the other day too - I must stop I am running out of room to store my make-up !
i thought it was a great deal for all those brushes (and there is a cute pink case). honestly the only brushes i had were some cheap ones that came in some gift with purchase thing--so let's just say i really needed these.
